Venom: a selective transcription
So in the course of trying to get a firm grip on Venom’s style of speaking in the movie (which is not exactly like Venom’s dialogue in comic books), I consulted, a, ahem, unofficial source to create a transcription of all of Venom’s dialogue, which I will now share with you.

"“It’s just not manly to leave your bro like this, after knowing he can’t do anything about it, you know?” Kirishima blabbers some kind of bullshit excuse, and the worst part is that it looks like he’s totally convinced of it. “It’s just a— handjob,” he stumbles over the word, the weight of what he’s proposing hitting him all at once, but he doesn’t stop. “—but if you're not into it we can pretend I didn't just say that.”

Bakugou has to restrain himself from saying that he’s very much into it. Like, a lot, really.

a.k.a Kirishima learns the reason behind Bakugou's grumpiest days, and he offers to help because that's what best bros do."

built this small script because I'm lazy and I didn't want to have to copy-paste chunks of table code again and again and again, just to display my livejournal icons in my icon journal; so I decided to whip up a quick script to handle all that for me.

au in which Kira and Erica are best friends and lovers that live together in a shitty apartment after graduating college. Kira’s doing post-grad study, Erica works in a local diner and steals her girlfriend’s nerdy clothes on a daily basis, and they couldn’t be happier.

“FEMSLASH AND BEYOND - RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN WOMEN AND FANFICTION.”
Sooo, here are my notes from the femslash panel last Friday at Nine Worlds. Panellists were Emily January, Cleo, Llin, Selenay, Lulu and Writcraft - I’m afraid I don’t know any tumblr usernames to tag, but you can find bios on the 9W website. All are readers and/or writers of femslash.

Firstly, a really good thing about this panel is that it was actually ABOUT FEMSLASH, not about comparing it to boyslash. And that terminology - it was femslash and boyslash, not femslash and slash, and not really through a conscious effort - I think this is something that was discussed at the panel last year, but I wasn’t there myself. It was also striking for me, as someone who likes femslash but has only really dipped a toe in, that femslash was spoken about as a fandom in itself, not limited to any one text. There is a large migratory element - if there’s a hint of femslash, we’ll go watch a show/read a book etc., and will often follow fave fic authors who start writing for other fandoms.

It isn’t until Amanita says, out of the blue, over the rim of her chai latte, “Would you mind telling Kala that I really liked the book she recommended?”, that Nomi realizes it’s so much more than that. Her girlfriend is not simply accepting the existence of other people’s voices in her head – she is actually conversing with them.

"Don't give up." A celebration of some badass characters of color in recent science fiction, fantasy and horror TV and movies. Made for resolute as part of the Fandom Trumps Hate 2017-2018 charity auction.

Plot: Hawkeye (Clint Barton) has the day off and he just wants to waste the day messing with unimportant tasks around his apartment. That is until Hawkeye (Kate Bishop) shows up to drag him off to something he doesn’t want to do.

Coulson wasn't born the bad-ass in the business suit. Hawkeye didn't start out as the trusted eye in the sky. This is the story of how SHIELD grew up, and how Phil and Clint grew together right alongside it.

Summary:
Objectively, Cisco knows that the two people he's known named 'Harrison Wells' are completely different, apart from looks. Especially since one of them was, in fact, actually a homicidal speedster from a distant future that was only ever masquerading as 'Harrison Wells.' But sometimes the two get mixed up in his head, and the worst part is that he's not sure whether he actually wants Harry to respond like Harrison would have, or whether that would hit far too close to home.

(Listening note: I don't know this fandom beside Tumblr osmosis but generic comic tropes knowledge kept me understanding the gist of it. A story about past hurt and a path towards healing.)

Frank left New Jersey for LA because of music, and staying was always just a means to an end. He never anticipated that the industry where he'd get his foot in the door would be comics, or that he'd be working as the one and only Grant Morrison's personal assistant.

Comic artist Gerard Way is both a reminder of the place he left behind and a chance for something more.

Problem is, Frank has started to see Grant as much more than just a boss…

The students all said that Professor Doumeki had a wife who made him lunches and impeccably pressed his shirts. Watanuki found this hilarious. For the wtfholic fest prompt: "The only people who can see Watanuki are customers with wishes."

Frank Castle hasn’t seen white torture since he was overseas. Now, he’s found Red (Matt Murdock) curled up in a hole in the wall, sense-deprived, and he killed the guys who did it too quickly for him to truly be known as the Punisher.

“He’s dangerous. He has trust issues that we may not be able to breach, he will not like working with others, he will lie to us about his motivations every chance he gets and, most likely, be successful every time.” Coulson’s gaze drifted back to the empty chair Barton had chosen earlier, boxed in the corner yet protected on as many sides as possible. “It won’t be easy, but if we can win his loyalty he has the potential to be the asset we’re looking for.”

Fury agreed, though neither of them would ever dream that they already had Barton’s loyalty, or that the price it cost was so steep.

“He’s not telling us everything,” Fury reached out and shut the projection off, “I’m not comfortable with this.” Coulson didn’t respond, didn’t need to. “Let Rogers know I want Barton watched; he doesn’t go anywhere alone until we understand exactly what’s going on. I’m not losing him to some egotistical mind-f***ing blade-dancer who has mentor issues and wants to take it out on our asset.”

The thing about magic is that you can’t do it by yourself. No one person has enough magic in them to do even a minor casting – you need a coven. Parker knew that about magic, which was why she couldn’t trust it.

Summary: It was never easy to find Loki when he wanted to hide, but he wasn't doing a particularly good job of it at the moment. Probably he didn't think anyone from Asgard would be wasting their time hunting for him while the shining ones churned their way steadily through all the realm.
